Description
Abstract:
When Cle Elum Dam (Washington, USA) was constructed, a highly productive sockeye salmon fishery was lost. As part of the proposed Yakima Basin Integrated Plan, fish passage will be restored at this site. For the migrating adults, a trap and haul fish collection facility will be constructed. For downstream juvenile salmon passage, a selective level outlet works, helical fish slide, and outfall will be constructed. The juvenile passage features groundbreaking research; primarily that of the helical fish slide. The presentation will cover aspects of the history of the project, the research driven designs, and the final designs (to be completed in 2015). The presentation can include computational fluid dynamics videos, descriptions of the physical modeling, renderings of the 3D facilities, and suitability of this design for other locations.

Presenting Author Bio: Jason Wagner, P.E. is the lead Civil and Hydraulic Designer for the Cle Elum Dam Fish Passage Facility Designs. In addition, he was the lead designer for the fish ladder system at Coleman National Fish Hatchery, the largest salmon hatchery on the west coast. He has designed numerous fish ladders, fish screens, fish barriers, as well as the juvenile fish passage facility at Cle Elum Dam. He works for the Bureau of Reclamation, in Denver, Colorado.
